Episode 6: Marina Templesman & Nicco Aeed
I talk with Marina Tempelsman and Nicco Aeed, who successfully crowdfunded for their film INTERVENTION on Seed and Spark.
Their partnership is almost old enough to legally buy cigarettes, as they reference in their INTERVENTION promotional video, and it shines through how much they get along in this episode. Their work has been featured by Comedy Central, The New Yorker, among other outlets, and they've taught sketch comedy at the Upright Citizens Brigade, a renowned improv group.
We talk about kindness, Paul Reiser, opening bank accounts, and how improv helps your pitching for films. Their journey shows how much keeping at it, as Nicco says, plays a role in independent film success.
